.....from ''A Quick One'' EP....PLEASE COMMENT BELOW!!!!
Lyrics:
Lily, you've an itch that you just can't scratch
A body and mind that don't match
I've no mind where you're bound
Lily, what's the use in pretending
As if our lives are ending
I just pray you'll be sound
So take yourself to the nearest doctor
And give it up 'cause you know we don't want you
And do it sensibly, as hard as it may seem
Give it up, 'cause you know you're a goner
Lily, how the hell d'you do it this time
Took the rules and bent them out of line
You're out of your mind
Lily, I've advice that you should heed now
On why's and where's and who's and how's
And when you come down....
Take yourself to the nearest doctor
Only he'll be the one who can help you
Do it right away, and start another day
That is all I'll say....

A million thanks! I think I must have listened to this song at least 40 times in the last couple of days,without exaggerating one bit, and I just can' stop playing it over and over. The melody to this song is unbelievable, the way it's sung, the guitar solo,... and to top it all off, the lyrics which are fantastic. Gosh, even the video is great. Absolutely perfect song, the kind that sends shivers down my spine whenever I hear it. I just can't describe how much I like it. Thank u!

It doesn't happen all the time but it's clear that when they want to write a perfect pop song they really know how to do it and this is a perfect example.

@gonzax man, i wish there was a formula. being totally honest, there are songs i have deliberated over for months only to get nowhere whatsoever with them, no matter how much i mess with the arrangement... this, on the other hand, took mere minutes to write, and remains exactly the same (in terms of melodies/guitar parts etc) as the original demo....
